Consultants appointed for Broken Hill film studio

A consultancy group has been appointed to help develop a business plan for the Broken Hill City Council's film and studio precinct.

AECOM was chosen from a group of nine submissions and will help local film industry representatives on the plan for the film studio that is to be used in the filming of Mad Max 4.

Council general manager Frank Zaknich says AECOM has already begun its work, starting the business planning process earlier this week.

Mr Zaknich says the consultancy group has been given a two month time line to complete its work.

"The initial brief is a development of the business plan and governance model and financial model for the film studio and the broader precinct," he said.

"So the draft plan will be finalised and submitted for consideration before the end of June and that ties in very well with the timing of the project and other sources of funding that council may be able to secure."
